In the history of wars, humanity has more than once met with the blockade of cities of one of the belligerent countries. The
blockade of Leningrad introduced a new page in the history of mankind. The artists who lived in the city during the blockade did
not stop their work, understanding it as their civic duty, contributing to confronting the enemy and giving hope to achieve victory.
Every day on the streets of Leningrad there were propaganda posters, caricatures of enemies, which were created by graphic artists,
painters and sculptors. The works created by them entered the treasury of Soviet art and represent its golden fund. Despite all the
difficulties of life in the besieged city, exhibitions were organized in it. The years of the Great Patriotic War inscribed a special page
in the history of Soviet art, refl ected the life of Leningraders in the besieged city and their struggle for victory over the enemy.
